All organised, sing a ten year old song about someone being on fire, get the autocue out to sing YNWA in front of the players who look like they have no emotion, then get to the airport for the 22:20 flight to Dublin, not forgetting to get your bottle of whiskey from duty free.

Probably mentioned pages and pages ago but I'm sure at the start before they got their regular coverage of singing their fucking song uninterrupted he said "Come on, you all know the words" or something like that.

midds Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 This will crucify the stat-haters but Forest have been outperforming their stats for months now. Just in the league alone they've, according to the dreaded xG stuff, scored 7 goals more than they should have, conceded 10 less than they should have and gained 17 more points than they should have. I know they're just (bullshitty) numbers but they suggest they've squeezed every single point out of every game they've played. They deserve credit for it but it's not sustainable long term. There has to be a correction eventually, maybe this is the start of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Still don’t get the Covid argument about it having an asterisk or not being competitive or whatever. Every team played in empty or half empty stadiums. It was the same for all. As for this being the worst or one of the worst title winning teams. Feels like recency bias to me and perhaps spoiled by some of the mad points hauls we’ve had in recent years. With the likes of City and Liverpool going toe to toe. Or when Arsenal and Chelsea have got in on the act and into the title race. 95-96 was when it went to a 38 game season. Fair few since then with high 70s and low 80s as the final points total. Liverpool already have 82 and have 4 games to go. I know it’s fashionable to dislike Liverpool and I can see some of the arguments about them not being great or even as good as Klopp’s side. But not sure that should be used against them. They were an elite team and were unlucky to just come up against prime Pep at the same time. Can’t say I remember all of the league winners from yesteryear and if the other teams in the league seemed below par or whatever. So points seems the fairest way of doing it and the numbers aren’t numbering. Anyway, everyone knows the League Cup is the more prestigious trophy. But I’m happy for them all the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Weren't Liverpool winning comfortably and on their way to breaking tons of records until covid truly hit the league? I think their record was something like 28-1-0 when the postponement of games and empty stadiums started happening. They actually only started dropping points after the covid break that happened. Without covid they would have probably beat Man Citys 100 point record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelofTheFourth Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The problem with the covid argument is that its simply untrue. Man city were the covid winners as it was the 20/21 season that had no fans. Liverpool were awful that season. 19/20 had fans most of the season. then lockdown happened. by the the time lockdown happened liverpool were way ahead. They were on a streak trying to win every match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelofTheFourth Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Overall this has been an awful prem season. Awful title race and even worse relegation battle. Yes the race for europe is fun but that the bundesliga/ligue 1 is the same thing and even they have interesting relegation battles. But I guess that's exactly what the Red Cartel wanted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the race for europe is fun but that the bundesliga/ligue 1 is the same thing and even they have interesting relegation battles. But I guess that's exactly what the Red Cartel wanted I was thinking about this, it's been a really competitive season, in that the middle of the field has gotten a load stronger, so their a lot less shit mediocre teams, where any team can beat anyone, with teams like Man City and Arsenal getting beat way more often, which you'd think would make things more dramatic, but it's actually done the opposite as all it's meant is that Liverpool have just had to be consistent week in week out and it's been a cake walk, while teams that come up just can't compete, as their base is so much lower than everyone else, so they're way off it. So despite it being more competitive it's weirdly made the season more dull, and effectively over with 4 games left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Certainly not been an exciting league. With relegation and the winners locked in ages ago. I just think it’s lazy to conflate that with Liverpool being ‘bad’ champions. It doesn’t really ring true. They could still easily break 90 points. Even if they don’t. They’ve been consistent for pretty much all the season until a few recent blips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t agree there, more memorable than loads of them for me - half the Man City and Man U ones blurred into one. Even Chelsea ones have. The final Ferguson one was memorable for how unmemorable it was Remember hardly anything about the last four. Granted the race has been over for a while, but just by not being Man City, and a team I’ve only ever seen do it once before, it’s more memorable and preferable to me.
